If it was decided that the steam communication between these countries and America should be from a British port, it would be found to be nothing more than a British communica tion ; but, on the contrary, if it be estabished on the western coast of Ireland, it would be an European communication —a communication, in fact, between the Old World and the New. Looking at the objects of the meeting in that point of view, he thought the present a suitable opportu nity to commence their achievement, by pressing for ward for the shortest line of communication between London and Dublin, not for the sake of either England or Ireland exclusively, for then both would become a link of that great chain of communication which would ultimately become of equal interest. There was another advantage to be derived from the line of communication he alluded to— that of Port Dynllaen—and it was this, that a railroad from it would run into the very heart of England, which would make it not merely a communication between London and Dublin, but one which would run through the centre of the railway communication of England.—( Hear.) Such being the advantages of that line, he believed it would be found to be incontestibly the most beneficial and useful. Sir J. K. JAMES said that, in relation to the present ob jects of the meeting, he could not find stronger or more appropriate language tending to uphold the objects for which they that day met together than that which was attri buted to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and had been alluded to by his friend who last addressed the meeting. Sir J. K. James then read the following :—" That if the facts sustaining the principles of the project were esta blished, and that London and Dublin could be brought within twelve, fourteen, or sixteen hours' distance of each other, it would be the duty of Government to assist the undertaking,„on account of the immediate benefit which its success mutt ultimately realise to both countries"—and, in continuation; said that if Ouch were the fact, that the com munication between the two oreateApi4aia could beinought to twelve or fourteen hours, that those observationi of the chancellor's were moat important.

PUBLICATIONS. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LON Liverpool, and that it must be deferred until the boats, now building under the directions of the Admiralty, be ready for sea, it is suggested that an additional mail should be de spatched from London at half-past eight o'clock ever) morning —and as this mail might now be conveyed by rail way to Liverpool in ten hours, it would arrive there at half-past six in the evening —and if the packet, which at present sails at five o'clock, were delayed until seven o'clock this mail could be forwarded by it, and might be delivered in Dublin at eight or nine o'clock on the following morn ing —thus effecting the communication in 24 hours. " By this mail, the London Morning Papers would be received in Dublin on the following morning, and the forei gn letters, which arrive at the London Post-office at an early hour by the Falmouth and Dover mails, might be for warded to Ireland without delay—together with such letters fro-n the interior of England as are received in London at six o'clock in the morning. " To the personal intercourse between the two countries it would afford great facilities, as passengers would thus be enabled to travel from London to Dublin—as they now travel from Dublin to London—in one day : an important object, which cannot be attained by any alteration on the Holyhead line. " This suggestion is, however, not free from ,objections : It is feared that the packets, in sailing down the river Mersey, would seldom venture to pass throtigh the - ' new' or deeper channel at night, and that the difficulties .of the navigation would be otherwise increased by the Want, oflight. "lt is Aso certain, that except all the steam-packets employed be of an efficient class, the passage from Liverpool to Dublin, during winter, would fr equen tly occu py more than twelve or thirteen hours ; and, consequently, the letters would arrive in Dublin too late for the first de livery from the Post-office, and that almost invariably the letters for Belfast and Kilkenny would not reach Dublin previously to the dispatch of the day mails, which are forwarded to these towns at eight and half-past eight o'clock in !he morning. " So far as relates to the dispatch of the Belfast and Kil kenny letters, the evil might be obviated in a great degree by delaying the departure of the day mail from Dublin, and by accelerating their rate of travelling, " How far the uncertainty of the sea voyage might be dim'nished by the use of well-constructed and powerful steam boats may be judged from the fact, that durinr , the years 1835 and 1536 the average passage of the mail-boats from Liverpool was, in December, January, and February, about fifteen hours and-a-half—whereas, during the last winter, in consequence of the addition of a single boat, of a superior class (the Ur , emt), and an alteration in the engines, &c., of some of the old boats, the average passage was little more than fourten hours and a-half.

The latter gentleman, after reading the requi sition, said that the pre eat meeting had been convened according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, ten days having been allowed to elapse after the notice of the meeting had been given. The CHAIRMAN said that it might be appropriate for him to mention then that the Council of the Chamber of Commerce, prior to the receipt of the requisition alluded to, had been occupied in making repeated inquiries re specting the subject referred to in that requisition, and that there was at hand a document which would give full and explicit information relative to what inquiries the Council had been engaged in, and also the detailed results of those inquiries. That document or Report could, of course, contain nothing mature, but the Council thought itt, but proper to come to the present meeting prepared to state and explain what they had been about.—( Hear.) Sir J. KINGSTON JAMES, Bart., proposed that the Re port alluded to should be read. The proposition being seconded, The SECRETARY proceeded to read as follows : REPORT.

" Yet, even this is fir beyond the average passages which could be effected if all the boats employed were equal to the Urgent, or to some of the boats belonging to private companies—such boats having recently crossed from Liverpool to Dublin in twelve hours, against a strong head-wind and unfavourable weather. " Nor should any difficulties of navigation, arising from the proposed hour of sailing be strongly urged as an ob jection, as the City of Dublin Steam Company have, for some time past, dispatched a boat from Liverpool at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, solely for the conveyance of passengers, finding it not only practicable but profitable to sail at these hours when the tide was favourable — the Company having no steam-tender, like that employed by the Admiralty, to convey passengers down the river at low water.

Its efficacy is remarkable in those maladies which depend upon the purity of the blood and a disordered condition of the stomach and bowels, inducing, as inevi table consequences, indigestion, head-ache, acidity upon the sto mach, heartburn, flatulency, nausea, lowness of spirits, and cuta neous eruptions. The most delicate female, when an aperient is required, may at all times have recourse to them. To individuals travelling, more particularly seafaring persons, when, from change of habit and climate, the liver and bowels become inactive, they will prove of invaluable service. The Medical Editor of the " Weekly Chronicle," in speaking of this medicine, which has now become the National Medium o Health, observes—" We have ascertained, as far as chemical analysis can extend, the ingredients constituting the preparation called the Poor Man's Pill, and find that they contain all that is required for a safe and active aperient.

TESTIMONIAL from HENRY HETHERINGTON, Book.. seller, 126, Strand, selected from many thousands forwarded to Messrs. Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford-street, wholesale agents : No. 126, Strand, Sept. 24, 1t338. To the Proprietor of the Poor Man's Pill. Sir, —Having considered your proposition that T should become the agent for this district for the sale of the Poor Man's Pill, I beg leave to state that lam willing to accept of the agency. It is necessary, however, that I should candidly and explicitly avow my sentiments on this subject. I feel disinclined, and consider it unjust to recommend others to take a medicine that I am not pre pared to take myself, and I strongly deprecate puffing Patent Medi cines into notice as specifics for all sorts of complaints. I thought it my duty to make myself experimentally acquainted with the virtues of the Poor Man's Pills before I consented to sell them. This will account for the delay in answering your application. I believe, generally speaking, the less medicine a person takes the better. Those who enjoy tolerable health, however, sometimes require a little opening medicine, and as it is well known that headaches and many other inconveniences result from costiveness, there always will be popular medicines in general use. to obviate the necessity and expense of applying to a doctor. Having adopted the Poor Man's Pill in my own family, I can unhesitatingly affirm that I have found it a gentle and efficacious aperient, which, when taken, will afford immediate relief ; those who unfortunately are afflicted with more serious complaints, will doubtless speak of the Poor Man's Pill more specifically ; but I can very sincerely bear testimony to their excellence as the cheapest and most useful aperient. Under these circumstances I am induced to recommend their universal adoption and use in families, as the most valuable of domestic medicines. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. H. HETHERINGTON.

" Since the 2d of October, the hour at which the packet sails from Holyhead with the day mails from London, has been changed from ten o'clock to eight o'clock in the mor ning, and in consequence of this change, the packet is ex pected to arrive at Kingstown, in favourable weather, at two o'clock, instead of four o'clock, P.M., as heretofore. " The packet with the night mails which had previously been dispatched from Holyhead at midnight, now sails at half-past six o'clock every evening, and is expected to ar rive at Kingstown at half-past twelve o'clock at night, in stead of six o'clock in the morning, as formerly. " From Kingstown, the packet which, previously to the 30th September, sailed at nine o'clock in the morning, now sails at half-past seven, and is due in Holyhead at half-past one, P.M. The evening packet which heretofore sailed from Kingstown at seven o'clock being now delayed until half past eight o'clock, and being considered as due' in Holy head at half-past two o'clock the following morning. The obj ects o f t h ese a l terat i ons on te Holyhead line are declared to be, that the express mail which is dispatched from the London Post-office at eleven o'clock in the morn iv, may be received in Dublin with the Chester mail on the following day, and that the regular mail which is dis patched from London at eight o'clock every evening, may more frequently reach Dublin in time for early delivery there, and for transmission to the interior of Ireland by the morning coaches, and also that there may be an increased regularity in the arrival of the Irish letters in London, &c. " The land conveyance of these mails is partly by rail road, the night mail being conveyed between London and Birmingham on the Birmingham railway, and the morning mail being forwarded between London and Harford-bridge by the same conveyance, the carriage between these sta tions and Holyhead being by four-horse coaches. " That the alteration will insure greater regularity in the transmission of the mails, is evident, because the time allowed to the packets for crossing the channel has been extended, and the uncertainty of the sea-voyage has here tofore been almost the sole cause of irregularity. The packet having now upwards of twelve hours to make the passage from Holyhead, it is almost certain that the Lon don letters will be received in Dublin in time for the earliest delivery. But, this very important benefit has not been attained without some disadvantages. " The comfort and accommodation of passengers must be diminished by the alteration in the hours at which the evening packets are likely to arrive at Holyhead and Kingstown, the earliest arrival at Kingstown being after midnight. The probable arrival, during winter, being be tween midnight and six o'clock in the morning. " But the chief objection to the arrangement is to be found in its effects on the correspondence with some parts of the interior of Ireland, us the Limerick, Cork, Sligo, and Derry mails, which do not arrive in Dublin until seven o'clock in the morning, and which were formerly for warded to England by the Holyhead mail at nine o'clock, cannot he sorted fir and dispatched by the packet which now sails from Kingstown at half-past seven, and must, therefore, be detained for the following packet. " It cannot, however, be doubted, that on application to to the Post-office, steps will be taken to remedy this evil, either by accelerating movements, where practicable, or by earlier despatch of the mails from the Cork, Limerick, and other Post-offices, and that the alterations on the Holy head line will then be found generallybeneficial to the Post office communication. 6, On the Liverpool station no alteration whatsoever has been made—the carriage of the mails between London and Dublin, throturli Liverpool,. has not b een expe di ted as yet, by the completion of the Birmingham and Grand Junction railways, although letters now reach Liverpool from London twelve hours sooner than by mail coach. " No second line of packets has been established, nor has there been any change of the hour at which the mail boat sails. " With reference to the establishment of a second line of packets, it appears that the Admiralty have not as yet a sufficient number of suitable steam-boats to dispatch a packet morning and evening from Liverpool, in the same manner as fmom Holyhead, although steps were lon g s i nce taken to effect t hat object. Immediately after the Lords of the Treasury had re jected the proposals to contract for conveying the mails, and had decided that the means of intercourse between Great Britain and Ireland, through Liverpool and Dublin, should not be confided to private individuals (a decision which the Chamber of Commerce earnestly solicited, and which is now stated to be advantageous to Government, even in a pecuniary point of view, the Admiralty directed that two large boats, with great steam power, should be built for the Liverpool service ; one of these vessels has been launched, and is now at Liverpool to receive her engines. The other will shortly be ready to proceed there for the same purpose, and it is understood that two more are to be built for this important station. " Some months, however, must elapse, before any of these boats can be fitted for sea, as much delay may be expected in procuring steam engines, in consequence of the press of business amongst the engine makers, &c. " In the meantime, the anxiety of Government and of the Post-office on this subject has been evinced by the di rections given, and the promptitude with which the Post office authorities in Dublin have communicated with the steam-boat companies there, in order to ascertain the terms on which the owners of steam boats would contract, during one year, to despatch a boat with a mail from Liverpool, at half pas' ten o'clock every night, and from Kingstown at twelve o'clock daily—the Admiralty boats being dispatched at other hours of the day. " That a double line of packets from Liverpool should be established, is deemed necessary to facilitate the dispatch of letters to and from the interior of Ireland, but as the steam Companies may decline to contract for the dispatch of boats, at the specified hours, it is suggested that the Admiralty should propose to charter two first class steam boats, for three or four months ; or, until the Government boats now fitting up be ready for sea, and that the arrange ment might thus be immediately effected. " It may, however, be observed, that this double line of packets is not essential to the Post-office communication be tween London and Dublin. It would not ensure a more regular delivery in Dublin of the night mail than that which is now attained by the Holyhead line—and no other consider able advantage could be contemplated, if themail which leaves London at half-past eight o'clock in the evening were for warded through Liverpool, as it wonld not arrive there until half-past six o'clock the following morning, and if put on board a packet for Dublin, with the least possible delay, it could seldom reach our Post-office until after seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and generally at an hour too late for the delivery of letters, &c. " Nor would Dublin derive any important benefit from the dispatch of a mail from Kingstown for London at an early hour of the morning, as that mail would convey very few Dublin letters except those which were in the Post office on the preceding evening. " If it be found impossible, therefore, immediately to ex pedite the correspondence with the interior of Ireland by establishing a second line of packets between Dublin and " But should it be deemed expedient, under all circum stances, to alter the Liverpool arrangement, let it be re collected that any evils arising from retarding the dispatch of the Liverpool packet cannot necessarily be of long con tinuance, as it may shortly be expected that the mails will be conveyed between London and Liverpool in eight instead of ten hours, and that the packet may then sail at five o'clock, as at present. The principal obstacle which now prevents the conveyance of the mails on the Birmingham and Grand Junc tion Railways, at the same rate of speed attained on the Man chester line, being, that the embankments are in some parts not yet perfectly secured, and that until these works be completed, the Directors decline to increase the speed be yond eighteen or twenty miles in the hour—the speed re quired being somewhat at less than twenty-six miles in the hour, as by that rate of travelling on these railways, and with even a single line of efficient steam-boats for crossing the Channel, the Post-office would he enabled, in nearly all seasons, to forward the entire of the London mails to Dublin through Liverpool, in twenty-four hours—and na tional advantages would be attained, which it must be the desire of Government to use every means in its power to promote." Mr. HALLIDAY, after he had concluded reading the Re port, saki, that it contained the substance of the information the Council had been enabled to collect, and the sugges tions that arose out of that information. Mr. GIBBON thought the gentlemen who signed the requisition ought to come forward with some proposition to accomplish the object for which the meeting had been called, and he expected that something would have been done in order to do away with repeated loss of life, which unfortunately so often occurred to individuals who em barked at this port for Liverpool.—(Hear, hear.) If the proposed facility were established, and the danger attending the communication with Liverpool got rid of, he thought they would benefit the city and country at large, far more than it had been by any proposition entertained in the Chamber of Commerce for many years ; and he begged, in conclusion, to remark, that the citizens of Dub lin had no right whatever to be satisfied with the present communication between Dublin and Liverpool as an esta blished one.—(Hear.) Mr. JOHN ASTLE, said, that as one of the requisition ists, he thought it would be desirable to send back the report to the Council, for the special object of calling at tention to the extremely inefficient state of Post-office communication between the two countries ; he begged to say that, taking into consideration the inefficient state in which that communication was carried on, it reflected dis grace upon the Government. The British Government, in fact, did nothing for the advancement of steam commu nication with this country. The first steam communication established between the two countries was commenced by private enterprise. Since that the Transatlantic Steam Company had been established also by private enterprise. There was a passage in the Report which had been read referring to the profits of the present Post-office packets, but he would contend, that the Liverpool mail conveyance alone was a quarter of a million loss to the Post-office. He would conclude, therefore, by submitting that the Report be referred back to the Council, for the purpose he stated. Mr. JAMES PERRY said, that he conceived the objects of the meeting might be classed under two heads : the first related to what could be done to make the present line of communication between London and Dublin practically beneficial ; and, secondly, how that could be improved. The public here had derived very little by the opening of the great line of railway at the other side. The subject of an improved line of communication had been, he believed, dis cussed in that room about twelve or eighteen months since, and he believed it would be practicable, by an improved line, to bring the present period of communication down to sixteen hours.—( Hear.) He was well aware that the as complishment of that measure would be a matter of consi derable expense, but then, it should be remembered, that the incomparable advantage to be gained, not only to this city, but the country at large, was well worthy of that ex pense. He was one of those who waited upon the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, relative to the objects of the last meeting, and the words of that gentleman were remarkable, and should not be forgotten, they were as follow :—" Show me that the thing is practicable, and there is no sum of money the thing is not worth." Alr. Gibbon alluded to three rail way lines, one from Ormeshead, another from Holyhead, and the third from Port Dynllaen ; the latter to be con nected with the Grand Junction line by a railway running into it near Wolverhampton. Now, it appeared that Holy head possessed disadvantages which were insurmountable, and that Port Dynllaen possessed those advanrag.s which would enable that class of vessels to be employed which would effect the communication in the shortest possible time. With respect to the line of railroad, that line should be taken which could be traversed in the shortest space of time, which, if accomplished, the entire distance might be completed within sixteen hours ; so that the despatch sent from Dublin at seven o'clock, might be delivered in London before twelve next day ; and passengers might leave Dublin after dinner, and arrive in London to a late breakfast the following morning. In fact, the benefits that would accrue from such an object being attained, would, in his mind, be worthy the outlay of any sum. There was, however, a still more enlarged view o f th e su bj ect to be taken—he meant the subject of steam-packet communication for con veying the mails between these countries and America—and it has been proved to be easily attainable—which circum stance, he hoped, would ultimately draw the Post-office corn:, tnunication betw een E urope an d A mer i ca to t h e West of . Irelan , d; and if that be the case, it was important thati they make the fi rs t s t ep i n t h e procee di ngs a right one, and • as pe t c fect as po s sibl e . Whil e upon that subject, he wished to say that it wa s p ro b a bl e t h a t th e re would shortlyetortebnedaedrs- L vertis etti ants in the public papers to contractors ment he perceived references made to Port Dynllaen and Holyhead, and it was perfectly clear that Holyhead could not be looked to as a commercial harbour ; and he also found that Port Dynllaen possessed advantages considerably beyond anything yet touched on ; and, it appeared that the courses between Dublin and that harbour would be W.N.W. and E.S.E., so that during the most prevalent wind, which was south-west, steamers would be enabled to steady themselves by the use of sails. It also appeared that a very eminent officer had made a very strong report in favour of Port Dynllaen. Mr. JAMES DAWSON said that he conceived there were two points before the meeting for its consideration : one was relative to improving the present system of communi cation ; but he did not look it as the ultimate object to be attained ; and, with respect to the Government, it ap peared plain enough that if individuals did not lead the Government the Government would not lead individuals. —(Hear, hear.) He might at all events say, that their Government was behind the age, for it had not given to the country at large the benefits which the march of science had afforded. There was no communication so impor tant as that which existed between London and Dublin —(Hear, hear)—and he would recommend that the Council should forward a petition to Parliament, calling its attention to a more rapid and accelerated mode of con veyance of passengers and mails. What had they to do, then, but lay out a line from London to the Welch coast ? Liverpool and-Holyhead were too much to the north, and Bristol was too much to the south, but Port Dynllaen was an intermediate station. It, to be sure, was not fit for a packet station at present, but it could be made so.— (Hear.) He would advise the Council to petition Parlia ment for the appointment of engineers to make a survey of the capability of Port Dynllaen, for the reception of first-class steamers.—(Hear.) Why should they be limited to the Liverpool or Holyhead harbours? They had depth of water, certainly, in Liverpool, but it was only a tide harbour, surrounded by sandbanks, which rendered naviga tion difficult and dangerous—(Hear)—which was only to be overcome by the skill and experience of the parties who encountered them.—(Hear.) The improvements which he contemplated were superior to looking to the comparative ly insignificant matter of having the mails dispatched at this hour or that hour.—(Hear, hear.) By this plan the hours would be cut off; they would not require to wait for the mid-day or night mail, because the object would have been gained in the day. By cutting off the time, they cut off the distance, and made the distance of Dub lin from Bath no mere than the latter city from London. Such improvements were important at the present period, and would be more so at a future time. " Would the march of improvement stop at its present perfection ? No ; they should endeavour to make Ireland the centre of communi cation between England and the New World. The ad vantages to be obtained by the communication which they so much desired were endless. It would harmonise the countries—prevent war—spread civilisation over the whole globe, and put an end, in a great degree, to political dissen sions and anti-national prejudices.--(Hear.) They had suffered considerably by the Union ; and one of the means for them to emerge from that situation of suffering was to shorten the communication with the British metropolis. He would conclude by moving that it be referred to the Council of the Chamber of Commerce to prepare a petition on the subject, to be laid before Parliament. Sir J. K. JAMES would second the resolution, and in doing so he begged to say that there could be no more im portant document relating to the present objects of the meeting than page 3 of the document to which he had pre viously referred. .tml which was • entitled " Reports of the Admiralty on the Harbours of Holyhead and Port Dynllaen." Mr. PERRY alluded to the advantage to be gained by using the largest class of steam-vessels, and referred to the Liverpool, which, be said, upon leaving Kingston, last Sunday m.►de her passage in ten hours and a quarter, while the mail-boat took four hours more to accomplish her passage.—( Hear.) A resolution was then submitted, to the effect that the Council should adopt all measures in their power to bring shout the most rapid communication between London and Dublin. Mr. ASTLE said, he would, therefore, adhere to his original resolution, which was to the effect, that the Report should be referred back to the Council to point out the de fects in the existing steam-packet communication, and call for their being rectified. Mr. JOHN M-DONALD said, that he conceived that an addition might be made to the resolution to the following effect :—" That in the meantime the Council's attention should be called, to render available to the country an ac celerated mode of communication."—(Hear.) After which, Mr. Guinness was moved from the Chair, and Mr. John Power called thereto, when the usual vote of thanks to the former Chairman was proposed by F. W. Conway, Esq., and upon being seconded by James Perry, Esq., passed unanimously. WATERFORD MEETING.-RAIL- WAY REPORT. A meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held at the Town-hall on Saturday, "to take into consideration the nature, contents, and recommendations contained in the Reports of the Irish Railway Commissioners, recently sub mitted to Parliament, more particularly as they would, if carried into operation, affect the city of Waterford, its trade, and interests, and to adopt such resolutions and measures in relation thereto ai may appear expedient?' At half-past one his Worship the MAYOR. was called to the Chair, and Mr. John Magrath acted as Secretary. Mr. JAMES DWYER—The question to be discussed is which system of railway is most suited to this country, and I shall briefly submit my views on this matter. I will not, Gentlemen, recall to your minds the claims which Water ford has on Ireland. Waterford has been always fore most in forwarding improvements. The distance of Waterford from Dublin, by the railway survey, is 139 miles. If the railway should be carried on in Ireland, Waterford would be entitled to her just rights and privi leges. Now, the Report of the four Railway Commis sioners, if adopted by a British Parliament, would cause certain injury to Waterford, that great city being quite thrown in the back ground, instead of being brought fer ward as the great commercial depot for the surrounding counties.
